Martin Luther King, Jr day is coming up so I thought it’d be appropriate to share some creative kids crafts! These would be great to help teach children the importance of the holiday.

Paper Plate Peace Craft from Innerchildfun.com

This idea is awesome! Grab some white paper plates and have the kids put tape into a peace sign. Then have them paint rainbow colors on it and peel the tape off.

Fingerprint Dove Craft from Busykidshappymom.org

I love this one! Have the kids use one finger and one color paint. Take turns by pressing it on a paper, making it into a dove.
